Taos Yoga Retreat 2020
Seated on the high-desert mesa at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico, Taos is rich with art and steeped in history. Taos has been a refuge for artists since 1915, a seat of resistance to Spanish Colonization in 1696, and it’s Taos Pueblo has been continuously inhabited for a millenium. Taos is a fascinating combination of art, history, culture and spirituality. This makes it a perfect place to retreat this Summer. Healthy home cooked meals, daily Yoga and meditation practices, hiking and sight seeing are some of the features of this Taos Yoga Retreat.

Our lodgings
Blue Sky Retreat Center at the Historic San Geronimo Lodge is a historic property that was built in 1925. It is a signature New Mexico style adobe construction with a chili pepper-shaped swimming pool, a hot tub , a meditation path, a garden and a labyrinth. It has been a farmhouse, a sanatorium, a boarding school and now a bed & breakfast and a retreat center. The center has just 18 unique rooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. The property is just 3 miles from the Taos Town Square. Yoga classes will take place in the lodge or in the new Yoga Yurt!

Yoga
With the exception of the first day* on our Taos Yoga Retreat we will practice Yoga each morning and some evenings. Practices will be customized to the needs and preferences of the group. Creative sequencing and strategies will facilitate profound learning. Maybe the best thing about Yoga Retreats is that you are there to really DO Yoga. So we won’t rush. We’ll have time to explore some deeper philosophical concepts, progress our movement and settle deep into the body in the present moment. It’s truly glorious 🙂
Each participant will supply their own Yoga mat. The Venue has blocks, blankets and straps for our use.
*Our first day we will take a travel recovery Yin practice in the early evening before dinner.
